DAILY NEBRASKAN
THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1939
BY LOIS OWENS.
Another round of pinch hitting
for Marg Krause who's confirmed
at the D. G. house with the flu
which is why this column was
missing yesterday morning.
There were scores seeking re
laxation from the round of tests
at the tea dance yestrday about
evenly divided between those in
the stag line and those on the
dance floor. Lila Hillman, Chi O,
was whirling with Howard Kettel
hut, Acacia, and Genevieve Har
man, D. G., with Sig Ep Bill Ko
vanda. Cutting frequently were
Sig Chi Bill Butt, Sigma Nu Rog
Ana wait, Kappa Sig Bob Roth
well, Delt Bud West, A. T. O. Bob
Sandberg, and dozens of others.
The newest development out
D.U. way is a Bachelor's club.
Members include such personages
as Harry Epperson, Leonard
Dunker, Bill Nichus and Avery
Forke. It seems as tho they can
only have two dates with the same
girl more than that and they're
going steady.
While over at the Sigma Nu
house there's an epidemic of pris
on, German, or what have you hair
cuts. Clint Banks, Bob Livengood,
Jim Kirkendall, and Jimmy Jones
all have had their hair cut to the
approximate length of one halt
inch.
There seems to be sort of a se
rious apology to make. It was
Herb Knox instead of Gene Knox
who drove Giggs Berggren home
last week end. And he didn't stay
there it seems that there was all
ready a boy friend there. Our
deepest apologies and everything.
Very closed is the Beta house
party that the pledges are throw
ing for the actives Saturday night.
They're even keeping the theme a
deep dark secret.
Frida night at the Union is
Earl Hi -es. All ready there's been
a scraml le for tickets. Jack Stew
art, Beta will be there with Alpha
Phi Marg Randall, Marg Runyan,
Kappa, with A.T.O. Jack Ells
worth and Theta Jean Reed with
Don Moore, Kappa Sig.
The annual Sig Ep blue party
falls on Saturday night and dates
are searching madly for something
blue to wear else they don't
get in.
Gamma Phi Beta announces the
pledging of Ruth Lavender and
Kappa Delt the pledging of Elea
nor Remier.
This afternoon from 1 to 4
o'clock, Rudge's are showing off
their new spring stock at a style
show. Modelling are Hazel Wisner,
A. O. Pi: Pat Woods, Theta: Lois
Friedbach, Theta; Jerry Wallace,
D. G.; and Louis Benson, Kappa.
Visiting at the Alpha Xi Delt
house is Bonnie Pickard, na
tional field secretary. She's on a
tour of inspection which will end
up at the national convention in
South Carolina next summer.

tary assistance. International trou- j
ble is now free to seek another I
spot at which it may rise to plague !
the democracies.
Our Madams Secretary.
A judiciary subcommittee of the
house of lepiescntatives cannot
find sufficient evidence to support
the charge, mined by Rep. Thom
as, that the depaitment of lalKr
has been negligent in enforcing
, the deportation laws. The Thomas
resolution which sought the im
peachment of Secretary Perkins
will not be sustained on the basis
of important information already
l eceived.
Madame Sccietary's effective
ness has been greatly damaged,
however, and she docf not seem to
be in a position to do much for
the labor peace now sought by
President Roosevelt.
The charges against Miss Per
kins were the result of other
claims that she and her depart
ment had protected Harry Bridges,
radical west coast labor leader,
from deportation as an undesir
able alien. The secretary of labor
does not have the confidence of
either business or labor, and Is
rapidly losing face even among
her new deal associates.
Altho experience is very limited,
women do not seem to make very
good heads of departments of
labor. Miss Margaret Eondi'iold,
first woman ever to sit in the
British cabinet and who occupied
the ministry of labor, was also un
der heavy fire from all sides, nnd
finally resigned wit ft the Mac
Donald government. Both Miss
Bondfield and Miss Perkins had
long and experienced histories of
labor dealings in specific locales,
but were umible to carry out their
programs on a national basis.
It is to be hoped that Miss Per
kins, cognizant that her voice is
impotent in labor matters, will re
sign in the near future. Others,
such as Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia
of New York, have shown them
selves to be much more capable
for the position. Economic re
covery is dependent upon the co
operation of capital ami labor, and
thi.-i Miss Perkins is unable to ob
ta'n, or has given no great im
petus to its establishment. Pros
perity for the whole of the Ameri
can people is much more impor
tant than the political career of a
single woman. Unwanted, and to
date inept, Miss Perkins should
soon see the liht.

ing a poor farm, located five miles
from the city, and in serving an
adult population who are incapaci
tated for work by chronic illness,
physical or mental or old age."
The speaker discussed the new
assistance programs as well as ac
tivities in certification for special
federal services, the works pro
gress administration program, the
civil conservation camps, federal
surplus commodities, soldier relief,
nnd state soldiers' home.
Music profs write book
Miss Hazel Gertrude Kinseella
of the School of Music faculty and
Miss Elizabeth M. Tierney, chair
man of the department of theory
and history of music, are authors
of a new book "Music in the Small
School'' which is published by the
university a3 the latest addition to
a series entitled The Small School
in Action. The book is dedicated
to Dr. Frances Elliott Clark, ed
ucational director for one of the
large radio manufacturers.

. . . "difficult to estimate."
A. Bengtson, chairman of the de
partment of geography here, in
his chapters of a forthcoming
book to which 22 outstanding gc
ographeres were asked to con
tribute. "To estimate the reserves of nat
ural gas Is even more difficult
than to estimate the reserves of
petroleum," Dr. Bengtson declares.
"Some claim that the recently
proved fields of the Texas Pan
handle are ample to furnish sup
plies for the next century at cur
rent rates of consumption. More
conservative minded students,
however, place the estimates of
potential supplies at a much lower
figure."
Consumption increase probable.
According to figures presented
by Bengtson, it appears probable
that the rate of consumption will
increase in the future as it has in
the past 30 years, thus drawing
the deadline even closer. Natural
gas consumption increased from
338 billion cubic feet in 190G to
one and one-half trillion cubic feet
in 1933.
There Is a moral to Bengtson's
studies. He points out in closing
that it is the duty of intelligent
citizenship to plan, and that their
planning should be projected into
centuries, and that on this basis,
careful conservation of mineral
fuel3 demands, immediate recognition.
